The Government piper denies that there will be any connection between the settlement of this question, and our commercial relations ; and goes tho length to say Uiat Congress should, and it believes will, embody our "clear right in relation to this terri tory in potithe law " asserting our " clear right " to extend from the 4iid degree of north latitude to the lino of 54 degrees 40 minutes thus cutting oft" all propositions or opportunity lor negotiation, and leaving 1 to England but tho alternative of abandoning her claim or going to war to sustain it. Mr. Drcii AitAis. The Washington U. 8.

A memorial to Congress, praying the 11 adoption of a system of uniform and cheap postage, the basis of the system being a fixed rate of two cents postage on all letters not exceeding half an mince weight," is in circulation at Pittsburgh.

The Maurhester American intimates that Mr. Carroll, of ihe New Hampshire Patriot, will be appointed by the Governor of New Hampshire to fill the vacancy in the Senatorial dele-gut ion from lint State, until the meeting of the State Legislature in June. I?" Among tli Whig Hens tors elect to the Legis lature of Georgia, is Win. H. Crawford, son of the celebrated Secretary of the Treasury, and candidate for President in UW4. Home of tin papers have con founded him with Crawford, the Whig Governor, who is not a son of W. II. Crawford and consequently not iudehtcd to the popularity of his father, as some of the Lncnfoco papers say, for his etection. (CT The New York Courier says that a young man has abscondt'd from that city taking with him 4ttiT,D00 worth of property obtained lYoin some of Ihe principal merchants there under false pretences. The Courier refrains from publishing the names of the accused and sufferers, fearing that it might by so doing defeat the ends of justice. II re rich ot Promise. A case uf breach of promise uf marringe was re. cently tried in the New York Court of Common Pleas, in which Miss Harsh Steele was the plaintiff, and Mr. Iwis Francis was the defendant. Tlie jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff, giving her one thousand do), lars damages. The Judge, in his charge In the Jury, made a de. cision important to all unmarried persons, male or female. He states that a promise of marriage can lie implied from the acts of the parties. If a man pays such attention to a female as to make it appear that lie is allianced to her, the law will imply a promise on his partand if a female, in keeping company with him, shows by her acts, that she reciprocates his affection, a mutual promise is implied, and either party can maintain a suit. On the other hand, if the ldy shows coldness and want of attachment, the law does not imply a mutual promise, and the defendant would In at lilierly to marry some one else. In the present case, ' the Court considers, from the acts of the parties, that there had been a mutual promise, but that is a subject for the consideration uf the jury, as is the question of damages, bearing in mind the pecuniary situation an J ability of a defendant. A decision, similar in all respects to the above, was but lately made in the Wayne county (Ohin) Common Pleas, in which Miss Miry Fleming recovered a verdict of $'J,'i'0 against Thomas Kcher. So marriage contracts may bo implied as well in Ohio as in New York. The ' Harmonious Democracy." ; An Old Tummnny Scene I The Statesman chuckles over some orderly and courteous discussion at the Whig nominating convention in New York city, as evidencing a lack of harmony in the Whig ranks thus exhibiting how flimsy a shadow can cast some cooling and soothing influence over tho gnawings produced by the present distracted state of its party. Had it waited until its own party nominations were made in that city, and which came otT on Thursday evening lust, it would have been furnished with scenes far richer though doubtless as far less palatable. The New York papers of Friday furnish graphic accounts of the proceedings of the Locofoco meeting on the preceding evening, to hear and act upon the report, of a committee to form a ticket. The Tribune saya that the report was made "amid a scene uf such terrific confusion as no place but Old Tammany has ever witnessed, and no pen can ever describe." Tho Hall was densely filled. Dr. Vache was called to the chair; and tho stand was occupied by Mike Walsh, Captain Ryndors, and about fifty of their respective troops, " whose shoutings and screeching! wera most dismal and distracting." The ticket presented contained tho names of Jonathan D- Stevenson and Samuel J. Til-den ; and when these were read, they were received with long-protracted hisses, groans, and yell of opposition, but were also loudly applauded, and the Chairman declared them carried. Tho resolutions were read, and declared adopted, without having been atall heard or understood. " During the whole of tho voting fur candidates, reading of the resolutions, &c., a constant hallooing was kept up from all parts of the house for 1 Walsh ! Walsh ! Walsh 1 Rynders stood tn front of the stand with a lamp in his hand, his shirt-colhr open and his h it set on the back of his head, while he shouted, screamed, stamped and gesticulated till ho grew black in the face and was obliged from sheer exhaustion to give, way." After the passage uf the resolutions, Miko Wulsh forced his way to the stand, in obedience to the loud and continuous calls for him, amid the loudest vociferations of delight, and succeeded in making one of his characteristic speeches, in which ho denounced tho action of the meeting and the nominating committee not one working-man having been placed upon the ticket. After he had finished his speech, ho moved to strike from the ticket tho name of Samuel J. Til-den, denouncing him as an Abolitionist, etc This motion the Chairman declared out of order, ami he refused to put the question; "whereupon, Mike put it himself, and it was decided in the affirmative by a shout which made the very walls tremble." After tho Chnirmain had put the question of adjournment, and declared it carried, all hough a largo majority voted against it, the followers of Miko proceeded to place Samuel Foster in the chair, when some one moved that Mike's name lie placed upon the ticket, in place of Tildeu's. This motion was carried by a deafening ye, and the meeting adjourned, j hese are a few ot he beauties, order, and harmony, of meetings in Old , tTauuuauy 1 Litem ry Associations j The season has arrived for the orgmixalion and re-organisation of Associatiunsfor the mutual enjoyment and profit of their iii"iubers, and others, by lectures and discussions upon subjects in literature, science, the arts, etc. These associations, properly conducted, are certainly sources of great pleasure and improvementenlarging the mind by its being presented with new and important truths and facts, or strengthening it by tho exercise of thought and research which dis cussious and preparations tor lectures impose upon it. Wo see that they are already organ ting in Washington, Baltimore, and other eastern cities those in Haiti, more proposing a convention of all the Societies in the city, for the purpose of mutual understanding and cooperation. No arrangements, we believe, have as yet been set on foot in thin city ; but we are very sure there is sufficient talent, and we hope there may be of leisure and inclination, for lite formation of several As. sociations, alike highly useful to their members and auditors.

The publishers solicit from tho officers of Banks at a distance, any information by which tho list of Hanks may be made perfect. The paper, we think, must be one of great usefulness to business men of all kinds. It is published at f '1 a year. Dr. Prinoe delivered a lecture in New York, recent ly on " the lost race of animals."

Longworth, of Cincinnati, publishes a communication iu tho Gazette, from which we extract tho following : When East, at Newark, New Jersey, I found the ROOFS of many buildings covered with paper, anda composition of tiir, pilch and gravel. On inquiring of intelligent mechanics, I found they lino lull confidence in its durability, and that all the roofs so covered, never leaked. In some instances, tin and zinc roofs had been taken off and this composition substituted. On imiui ring at the insurance offices, I was told they insured houses covered with this composition, the same with roofs of slste or iron. I also ascertained that most of the new buildings erecting at Pittsburgh and Memphis, wero roofed wilh this composition, r nun the opinions 1 formed, I inquired for a mechanic who was master of the business, and had Humid M.

A specimen of the work may be seen at the stovo store of Henry Miller, south side of Fourth street, between Main nnd Sycamore streets.

A sH'cimen nuniler of anew paper which it is proposed to publish at Charleston, South Carolina, Iris been issued. It is called the Charleston Mirror. 41 In declaring its creed, it acknowledges itself to be in favor of a well devised and skilfully regulated system of Manufactures, believing it is calculated to restore, in a measure, the fallen fortunes of that section of the Union, by Opening new avenues of advancement, to the vast numbers who uow throng the public thoroughfares, seeking in vain the attainment of steady and profitable occupation.' Extracts from Mr. Gregg's essays on the subject of Manufactures in South Carolina, are published in the Mirror.

The Cotton Interest and the Tariff This is a document taken from the Jackson (Miss.) Southron, that puts to flight all U10 theories of tho anti-Tar itiites. It is seen Uiat owe nusiiREn an nronn cotton flantkrs speak right out, and assign unanswerable reasons in favor of the Whig protective Tariff. The opinions of such men, saya the N. O. Tropic, based upon practical experience, is worth a thousand free trade abstractions. PLANTERS' MANIFESTO. Whrkkas, an opinion prevails in some portion of the planting region, that the protective policy, and especially Uie Tariff act of hus impoverished and oppressed the cotton planter, to an extent sufficient to warrant a resort tn remedial measures to resist its operations, or obtain its repeal. Anii wiikhkas, it is believed by many of those largely engaged in planting this season, that the injurious effects attributed to the tariff may be satisfso-torily traced to other causes ; it is deemed proper to give public expression of their opinion, in tho hope that those who differ from them may be induced to consider, calmly and dispassionately, but earnestly, whether they are not as much interested in the permanency of a policy, which insures the general prosperity of the whole country, as those who are more immediately and directly protected by it; and whether their interests as producers, are not dependent on tho prosperity of the consumers. The undersigned, therefore, residents of Adams county, and growers of cotton, set forth some of tho views which have influenced them, in giving their support to the protective system ; 1 hey are in favor of such a Tariff as that of 1H42, because it n fiords, as they believe, adequate protection to all kinds of domestic labor, and renders us independent, not only in nmes but in r( ; Uecause they believe it will induce at the North, large investments of capital, and tho employment of a large number of laborers in the manufacture of cot ton goods; that it will extend the consumption of manufactured articles, and thereby increase the demand for the raw material ; that it will give the grow- ers of cotton two markets instead of one, and one of those a home mnrKet ; Because it protects, indirectly, the growers of small grain, and gives them a home market ; llccause it protects, indirectly, the liemn-grnwers, and gives them a homo market, and keeps the large amount of capital and labor now invested in that business, from being employed in extending the culture of couon ; Because it protects, indirectly, the breeders of hogs, of horses, of cattle and of mules, and gives them a home market ; Because it protects, indirectly, the producer of sugar, gives him a home market, prevents tho vast amount of capital and of labor invested in tho culture of cane from being directed to the already redundant production of cotton ; Because they believe tint all experience proves its ultimate tendency is to reduce the price of man 11 lac. tured goods, and thereby benefit consumers of all classes; Because they believe no one great interest of the country can be adequately protected, without, in some degree, extending protection to all other interests, and that none derive more essential benefit from the general prosperity of other pursuits tlisn tlie cotton grower. But almve all, they are in favor of such a Tariff as lhat of lH-ia, because they believe the interests vf the ntamifneturrrs vf rattan gtHitlt atthr. jYurth to he itlcnti-Jvd irith the. interrgtt of the grower vf rolhm at the "HfA,and I hat as strength is added to these two great interests, the one at the North, nnd the one at the South, so will strength be added to the Imnds which bind this glorious Union together; and they do most solemnly b lieve, that if the system of affording adequate protection to American industry be persevered in for but a few years, nil the great interests of tho country wilt become so blended, and so dejicudeiit onn upon the other, that all attempts, whether of abolitionist or of abstractionists to destroy our beloved Union, will be laughed to scorn for centuries to come. The United States and llnyti. Wo placed before our readers, a week or two ago, an extract from Uie Washington correspondence of ono of tho New York pipers, in which was announced tlie return to this country of Mr. Hon an, who had, it appears, been commissioned to visit Havti for some unexplained political purpose ; and, it may be remembered, we expressed a wish for further information on the subject. That wish is in part realized by a publication in the New York Commercial Advertiser of Wednesday lost, an extract from which is hereto subjoined, and which deserves nil the attention of the reader, (supposing it to he well-grounded,) and especially Uiat passage of it which we liave italicised. Can it bo true that this Government has been interfering in tho affairs of Ilayti r By what right, or upon what principle of re publican policy, can it interfere in the affairs of any other people ? In what case, under any Administration preceding the lost, has it ever done uoi Has it not, on the contrary, expressly disclaimed any pretension to such a right, and uniformly reprobated it when xerciseu ny oilier nations.' But to the extract, as follows : Corrcspundonrc of tho Commercial Advertiser. Washington, Oi torkh ti7, 1H45.

Cer- Ohio to tho Rescue I The result of the recent election in this State is of the most gratifying character, and will infuse new spirit into the Whig party, and inspire it with new energy and confidence. In the face of a National defeat, with no great name to arouse and enlist opular feeling, the Whigs of Ohio have achieved a signal triumph. They went into the contest slaking the result uon the strength of their cause, and the soundness of their principles, and making their appeal, not to the passions and prejudices, but to the good sense, sober judgment and intelligence of the ope. It is this fact which gives the result in this State the character, if any election ever deserved the name, of a great moral triumph. It invests the popular decision with a force which under the heat of great excitement, it woiiid not havo possessed. It is the honest, delilM-mlo, verdict of the people, rendered wilh an emphasis which will admit of no misconstruction and from which there is no appeal. It proves that Ohio is IhoreiiL'hlv and irrevoea- bly Whig in her politics, and places her, side by side, wan massacnuscii ami Vermont, in the wing phalanx. She now ranks third only, in point of nonula- lion, in the Confederacy, ami ia st-cond to none of her sisters, in all the elements of greatness and wealth. The next census will, no doubt, show her standing next to New York in population, and no long Uiue will elnpso before she will successfully dispute with that Biaie ner claim to the title ol Kmpire. It is this which gives tn Ohio, as the only gn at State which is reliahlu Whig, a commaudinir influence in the party to which she has again declared allegiance.

And this is probably very true. tli tain it is, our envoy did find a Frenchman among tho Dominicans, a Monsieur Villeneuve, I think, doing his possible in the name of the French Government to nrganixc and discipline them for the contest against the Ifaytiens. It is well known that in colonial diplomacy and wars the French are of no account at nil ; so that whatever may be the wishes and intentions of our Government in res-wet to this island, there is not the least cause of jealousy on its part as to the efforts of France or its agents in this struggle. Well, when Mr. IIooa left St. Domingo in July, , the Dominican army was nicely organized, composed it 1 have correctly retained the insinuation, received long time ngo") of thirteen thousand men, having several French officers and soiuo beautiful pieces of old Spanish artillery, with tho great additional advan tage ot neing accompanied along the coast by three or four small armed vessels, American built. As we expected, a battle was fought in September, in which the Dominicans were victorious. This affair lias undoubtedly been very much exaggerated. The llaytiens were taken by surprise were not aware of the good lighting condition, the huropcau advisers. ana ine neio-piecei ot their adversaries were a little cut up, and took to their heels, like sensible men, and as our own men very frequently did in the beginning of the Revolutionary wnr. t was consequently a very unimportant skirmish. The llaytiens i 111 mediately be gan cunrenirniing ineir lorces, having nought one or two small vessels to coto with tho Dominion navy, nnd it is not unlikely that ere this the tide of war has turned in their favor The issue of the struggle is hirdly doubtful. If the while Dominicans cxjiect to subdue the whole negro population of this delightful island and reduce it to a stnte ot servitude, or to any degree of civil and political inferiority, they must be iniKi-rniuy oisappoinu-u. I hey are toil a handtui compared to the blacks of the old French division, who 11 muttered in r-linearly 7' H 1,000 souls. The attempt is much more hardy and hopeless than that in which legions of French soldiers and some great French gen erals perished 111 the beginning of the century. I am an enemy to all abolitionism out of slave coun tries, because I think slavehuldhig communities ought to bo left to apply their own remedies to their own grievances, unless indeed they ask for sympathy and assistance from beyond their own limits ; and because, also, 1 mink, that, as it generally exists in tlie United Slates, the relation of master and si ive is not unjust, unnatural, or improper, because of the vast disparity in the moral nature and the intellectual endowments of the two races. But I cannot too earnestly express my disapproval of the part this Uarernmrnt appairs to hare taken in the, attempt to undermine and orcrthrow the negro and mulatto Uarernmrnt of the llaiitien 7fe- pul'lie. The subject certainly deserves the severest scrutiny at the hands uf Congress. God preserve us as a na tion irom the abominable wickedness ot political propagandist n ! American Orators. The Public Speeches of a nation's chief legislators are among the most luminous landmarks of its policy, the most lucid developments of the character and go niusot its institutions, and the noblest exhibitions 01 intellect. The speeches of many of our greatest orators have not been preserved, and like those of De-mades, the Athenian who was deemed by some of the ablest of his contemporaries superior to Demos-Utenes, they are forgotten. Of Uie orations of Otis, which were described as " flames of fire," we have but a few meagre reports. We are persuaded of the eloquence of Hksry only by the history of its effects. The passionate apjieals of the elder Aiams, which " moved his hearers from their seats," are not in print. But for tradition it would tie unknown that Rot-lkduk was one of the greatest of orators. There ia in existence scarcely a vestige of Uie resistless declamation and argument of Pinxskv. Some of the speeches of Fisiikr Amks have come down to us with their passages of chaste and striking beauty, and they constitute nearly all the recorded eloquence of the time in which he was an actor. Of Hip great orators of a Inter day of WrnsTKR, Clav, Calhoun, and others we have the means of forming a more accurate judgment. Their works belong to our standard Literature. They are thoroughly imbued with the national spirit. They glow with tho feelings of the people. They could have been produced only in America. Danii.l Werbtkr has written his name in our history. He has graven it indelibly on Uie rocks of our hills. He has associated it in some way with all that is grand and peculiar about us. Whatever may be tho (-fleets of time upon his reputation as a politician, unless the world return to barbarism, it cannot destroy his fame as an author. If I were to compare him to any foreigner, it would be Bchke. But he is a far greater man than the Irish colossus. His genius is more universal. Ho is more chaste. His style and argument are more compact. His learning is more various and profound. The literature of the langunge has no more splendid rhetoric or faultless logic. Born almost contemporaneously with tho nation, he has grown with its growth, strengthened with its strength, and become an impersonation of its character such nn impersonation as we proudly point to when we remember that we are Americans. The distinguished characteristic of the speeches of UKHr clay is an eminent practicalness. 1 hey are not imaginative, nor poetical, nor iiiipassionated. They lack the solidity, compactness, and inherent force of w ebstkr, and tho philosophic generalization ol Calhoun; Wrioiit is more plausibh-and ingenius. Pkks. ton is more graceful and fervid, and Choatf. more brilliant and classically ornate. Yet there is an unaffected earnestness of conviction, a profound heartiness of purpose, a frank and perfect ingeniousuess, a manly good sense exhibited in the works of this great statesman, which commend them to the reader's un. derstanding and approval. Although the manner of the orator adds force and significance to the matter, so that his speeches should be heard to be truly estimat. ed, they are found to bear a value in the closet not pos. scsscd by the productions of many who have enjoyed the highest eminence in the Senate, the forum, and tho world of letters. Mr. Calhouk is another author of Uie very highest rank, and his works, though in many respect very dillerent irom those ot the great orators 1 have men. tinned, are scarcely less peculiar and national. It hns been too much the habit to consider him as a politician. Mis claims as a literary man have been almost over looked. No ono has more skill as a dialectician. His sententious and close diction, his remarkable power of nniiiysis, ins inipiiciiy aim a'guuy 111s aocuines, ana all tint elements of the power with which they are maintained will secure for his preductiona a perma nent place in the world's consideration. My limits will not permit me to attempt particular analysis of their characteristics; but in concluding this part of my subject, I mny jioint to John Reiser Adams as altogether one ot the most remarkable men of this century, in whose voliiinnious and various works there is not only marked nationality, but a wis dom which astonishes by its universality and profound ness; to Epwahii Evkrktt as an orator of the most comprehensive learning, elegant taste, and noble spir it; to rlurus Choati:, as the hnest ot senatorial rhetoricians; to the brilliant Prrstos, and many others, whose speeches, like those to which I have heretofore directed attention, when their histories as partisans are forgotten, will be regarded as portions of the classical literature of the United States fit to lie ranked among the finest works of mankind, produced in the most highly cultivated nations of ancient or modern times.

The Hon, Lemuel Sawyer, who was a member nf Congress in IHVJ, furnishes Uie following interesting reminiscence tn a letter to the editor of Uie New York Courier and Enquirer: 1 wen remember the occasion of Mid. Hamilton's presentation of tho flag of Uie Macedonian. 1 was present, though unintentionally, at the grand naval ball given, about Uie 14th of December, leH by tho citizens of Washington to Cant. Hlewart. in return for the one he had given to them a little previous, on board his ship. The ball was held al Tomlinson's Ho tel, on Capitol Hill, where 1 boarded ; and being some what indisposed, I had retired to tied iust as th hull opened. The music, and the regular vibration of the floor to the motion of the dance, kept me awake. I considered, as I was thus condemned to suffer the evil of the ball, I might as well compensate myself by its gratification. 1 found it well tilled wiUi the beauty and fashion of the place, and honored with the pres-sence of Mr. and Mrs. Madison, and the heads of the depnrtiss-nts, among whom was Paul Hamilton, the Secretary of the Navy, his lady and two handsome daughters. In Uie midst of our enjoyment, at about 11 0 clock, a messenger came to the door and commu nicated sorno news secretly to the managers. They were then observed to whisper something to Mr. Hamilton, who hnd a private conversation with tho President. Immediately it was buzzed about that a messenger had como and was waiting below, with the glad tidings of a signal victory of one of our ships over one of the British with equal force. In ft moment, and without the least noise or contusion, an arrangement waa made by the managers, to give full effect to U10 fortunate coincident. The Secretary's impatience to run down stairs and meet his son was restrained, and a delegation of three gentlemen was appointed to wait on Mid. Hamilton and invite him up, with the trophy of victory, of which he waa the hearer, the flag of tho mace aonian. An opening was left through the crowd of spectators, from the door to the back part of the room, necrciary Hamilton and his family were placed, at the bottom of the passage, and in front of the door, while the President and his lady, with tho members of the cabinet, were arranged on each side. A breathless sib-ncc prevailed. The ladies stood up nn the back seats, lie t ween Uie columns that supported tlie ceiling, me whole length ol the room, gazing with intense interest at tlie door. It may be mentioned, that Mid. Hamilton had been absent two years, and that he hsd escaped, by a miracle, from Uio conflagration of Uie ivicoinonu 1 nrain-, ine winter oeiore oy nreaaing through the sash of one of the upper windows, and leaping to the ground, a distance of near 'Mi feet. At length tho head ot the procession entered the room, consisting of Mid. Hamilton, supported on each side by a member of the committee, followed by a train of gentlemen, having the captnred flag. Young Hamilton, seeing his parents waiting for his approach with outstretched anus, with modest demeanor and accelerated steps, threw himself into the arms of his mother, who hid her face in his bosom, overcome by her feelings of silent joy ; from thence he tore himself to grasp hisfuther's hand in a long and cordial shake, and ended by receiving and returning the enraptured embraces of his sisters. As soon ai this highly dramatic scene wns over, one sudden burst of huzzas resounded through the room. The flag waa pnraded,and marched around the mom to Uie tune of Hail Columbia after which it was brought before Mrs. Madison and laid at her feet, but she did not tread on it as some of the opposition papers alleged. You may well suppose that this new and unexpected feature in thcooremony, gave an increased zust to the entertainment, and that it went off with charming and cnlmnccd gusto. Young Hamilton was a very handsome officer, and invested as he was with the virgin honors of this great naval victory, which dissovled the charm of British invincibility on the ocean, was Uie cynosure of all Uie fair eyes present ; but he bore his triumph and his honors meekly. He was promoted to a Lieutenancy, and in lhat capacity was cut in two hy a chain shot in the action of the r resident with the r.ndymion, or rather ft llrttisli squadron, off the coast of Rhode Island, a few months after, while he was bravely discharging his duty under Uie gallant Decatur.

The President replied that he was pleased to see them ; that some of them were old men and had come a long distauce to attend to what Uiey considered matters of importance; and Uiat they should be patiently heard, and full justice done to them. The Government, he said, desired to preserve relations of friendship and peace with all the Indian tribes ; he trusted Uiat before they left Uie city all their business would he satisfactorily arranged, and that the hatchet between the red and the white man might long remain buried. Half Day rejoined that they had great respect for the Government of Ihe United Stales ; that they had sold to tho Government all their country upon Uie great lakes; that Uey had never refused their Great Father when he asked them for land ; Uiat their reply waa like that of good children, always "yea;" that they could nnt help looking back to the fine country which they had parted with, were they had left Uie bones of Uieir grandfathers; Uint the country is no longer theirs, hut they love It still, and When they think of it their hearts are sad. They had now, he said a country which they were told was to be their home as long as the sun shines and water flows ; where Uiey were to grow up like the grass or the prairies, it waa a good country, he said, and they liked it. They had always lived up to their promises with the Uovern-mcnt. But they had been askrd to go southwest of the Missouri, and are in trouble, for they know not what to do. Eleven winters ago they were told, ha said, Uiat if they had but one wigwam on their present lands, they should see there all that had been prom ised them; out they! had come all the way to Wash ington to inquire of Uieir Great Father concerning it ; thai there was a cloud before their eyes, which Uiey hoped he would take away. You are from Uie West. said he to the President, and know what your red children want; we look to you for justice. 1 he rrestdeut replied that the Oovemment would art in good faith towards them ; that the bargains with them hsd been voluntarily made on their part, and should be scrupulously fulfilled by the uovcrnment and that the Secretary of War would see that Uiey were heard and treated properly.

A case uf breach of promise uf marringe was re. cently tried in the New York Court of Common Pleas, in which Miss Harsh Steele was the plaintiff, and Mr. Iwis Francis was the defendant. Tlie jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff, giving her one thousand do), lars damages. The Judge, in his charge In the Jury, made a de. cision important to all unmarried persons, male or female. He states that a promise of marriage can lie implied from the acts of the parties. If a man pays such attention to a female as to make it appear that lie is allianced to her, the law will imply a promise on his partand if a female, in keeping company with him, shows by her acts, that she reciprocates his affection, a mutual promise is implied, and either party can maintain a suit. On the other hand, if the ldy shows coldness and want of attachment, the law does not imply a mutual promise, and the defendant would In at lilierly to marry some one else. In the present case, ' the Court considers, from the acts of the parties, that there had been a mutual promise, but that is a subject for the consideration uf the jury, as is the question of damages, bearing in mind the pecuniary situation an J ability of a defendant. A decision, similar in all respects to the above, was but lately made in the Wayne county (Ohin) Common Pleas, in which Miss Miry Fleming recovered a verdict of $'J,'i'0 against Thomas Kcher. So marriage contracts may bo implied as well in Ohio as in New York. The ' Harmonious Democracy." ; An Old Tummnny Scene I The Statesman chuckles over some orderly and courteous discussion at the Whig nominating convention in New York city, as evidencing a lack of harmony in the Whig ranks thus exhibiting how flimsy a shadow can cast some cooling and soothing influence over tho gnawings produced by the present distracted state of its party. Had it waited until its own party nominations were made in that city, and which came otT on Thursday evening lust, it would have been furnished with scenes far richer though doubtless as far less palatable. The New York papers of Friday furnish graphic accounts of the proceedings of the Locofoco meeting on the preceding evening, to hear and act upon the report, of a committee to form a ticket. The Tribune saya that the report was made "amid a scene uf such terrific confusion as no place but Old Tammany has ever witnessed, and no pen can ever describe." Tho Hall was densely filled. Dr. Vache was called to the chair; and tho stand was occupied by Mike Walsh, Captain Ryndors, and about fifty of their respective troops, " whose shoutings and screeching! wera most dismal and distracting." The ticket presented contained tho names of Jonathan D- Stevenson and Samuel J. Til-den ; and when these were read, they were received with long-protracted hisses, groans, and yell of opposition, but were also loudly applauded, and the Chairman declared them carried. Tho resolutions were read, and declared adopted, without having been atall heard or understood. " During the whole of tho voting fur candidates, reading of the resolutions, &c., a constant hallooing was kept up from all parts of the house for 1 Walsh ! Walsh ! Walsh 1 Rynders stood tn front of the stand with a lamp in his hand, his shirt-colhr open and his h it set on the back of his head, while he shouted, screamed, stamped and gesticulated till ho grew black in the face and was obliged from sheer exhaustion to give, way." After the passage uf the resolutions, Miko Wulsh forced his way to the stand, in obedience to the loud and continuous calls for him, amid the loudest vociferations of delight, and succeeded in making one of his characteristic speeches, in which ho denounced tho action of the meeting and the nominating committee not one working-man having been placed upon the ticket. After he had finished his speech, ho moved to strike from the ticket tho name of Samuel J. Til-den, denouncing him as an Abolitionist, etc This motion the Chairman declared out of order, ami he refused to put the question; "whereupon, Mike put it himself, and it was decided in the affirmative by a shout which made the very walls tremble." After tho Chnirmain had put the question of adjournment, and declared it carried, all hough a largo majority voted against it, the followers of Miko proceeded to place Samuel Foster in the chair, when some one moved that Mike's name lie placed upon the ticket, in place of Tildeu's. This motion was carried by a deafening ye, and the meeting adjourned, j hese are a few ot he beauties, order, and harmony, of meetings in Old , tTauuuauy 1 Litem ry Associations j The season has arrived for the orgmixalion and re-organisation of Associatiunsfor the mutual enjoyment and profit of their iii"iubers, and others, by lectures and discussions upon subjects in literature, science, the arts, etc. These associations, properly conducted, are certainly sources of great pleasure and improvementenlarging the mind by its being presented with new and important truths and facts, or strengthening it by tho exercise of thought and research which dis cussious and preparations tor lectures impose upon it.

The Cotton Interest and the Tariff This is a document taken from the Jackson (Miss.) Southron, that puts to flight all U10 theories of tho anti-Tar itiites. It is seen Uiat owe nusiiREn an nronn cotton flantkrs speak right out, and assign unanswerable reasons in favor of the Whig protective Tariff. The opinions of such men, saya the N. O. Tropic, based upon practical experience, is worth a thousand free trade abstractions. PLANTERS' MANIFESTO. Whrkkas, an opinion prevails in some portion of the planting region, that the protective policy, and especially Uie Tariff act of hus impoverished and oppressed the cotton planter, to an extent sufficient to warrant a resort tn remedial measures to resist its operations, or obtain its repeal. Anii wiikhkas, it is believed by many of those largely engaged in planting this season, that the injurious effects attributed to the tariff may be satisfso-torily traced to other causes ; it is deemed proper to give public expression of their opinion, in tho hope that those who differ from them may be induced to consider, calmly and dispassionately, but earnestly, whether they are not as much interested in the permanency of a policy, which insures the general prosperity of the whole country, as those who are more immediately and directly protected by it; and whether their interests as producers, are not dependent on tho prosperity of the consumers. The undersigned, therefore, residents of Adams county, and growers of cotton, set forth some of tho views which have influenced them, in giving their support to the protective system ; 1 hey are in favor of such a Tariff as that of 1H42, because it n fiords, as they believe, adequate protection to all kinds of domestic labor, and renders us independent, not only in nmes but in r( ; Uecause they believe it will induce at the North, large investments of capital, and tho employment of a large number of laborers in the manufacture of cot ton goods; that it will extend the consumption of manufactured articles, and thereby increase the demand for the raw material ; that it will give the grow- ers of cotton two markets instead of one, and one of those a home mnrKet ; Because it protects, indirectly, the growers of small grain, and gives them a home market ; llccause it protects, indirectly, the liemn-grnwers, and gives them a homo market, and keeps the large amount of capital and labor now invested in that business, from being employed in extending the culture of couon ; Because it protects, indirectly, the breeders of hogs, of horses, of cattle and of mules, and gives them a home market ; Because it protects, indirectly, the producer of sugar, gives him a home market, prevents tho vast amount of capital and of labor invested in tho culture of cane from being directed to the already redundant production of cotton ; Because they believe tint all experience proves its ultimate tendency is to reduce the price of man 11 lac. tured goods, and thereby benefit consumers of all classes; Because they believe no one great interest of the country can be adequately protected, without, in some degree, extending protection to all other interests, and that none derive more essential benefit from the general prosperity of other pursuits tlisn tlie cotton grower. But almve all, they are in favor of such a Tariff as lhat of lH-ia, because they believe the interests vf the ntamifneturrrs vf rattan gtHitlt atthr. jYurth to he itlcnti-Jvd irith the. interrgtt of the grower vf rolhm at the "HfA,and I hat as strength is added to these two great interests, the one at the North, nnd the one at the South, so will strength be added to the Imnds which bind this glorious Union together; and they do most solemnly b lieve, that if the system of affording adequate protection to American industry be persevered in for but a few years, nil the great interests of tho country wilt become so blended, and so dejicudeiit onn upon the other, that all attempts, whether of abolitionist or of abstractionists to destroy our beloved Union, will be laughed to scorn for centuries to come.

That wish is in part realized by a publication in the New York Commercial Advertiser of Wednesday lost, an extract from which is hereto subjoined, and which deserves nil the attention of the reader, (supposing it to he well-grounded,) and especially Uiat passage of it which we liave italicised.

Cer- Ohio to tho Rescue I The result of the recent election in this State is of the most gratifying character, and will infuse new spirit into the Whig party, and inspire it with new energy and confidence. In the face of a National defeat, with no great name to arouse and enlist opular feeling, the Whigs of Ohio have achieved a signal triumph. They went into the contest slaking the result uon the strength of their cause, and the soundness of their principles, and making their appeal, not to the passions and prejudices, but to the good sense, sober judgment and intelligence of the ope. It is this fact which gives the result in this State the character, if any election ever deserved the name, of a great moral triumph. It invests the popular decision with a force which under the heat of great excitement, it woiiid not havo possessed. It is the honest, delilM-mlo, verdict of the people, rendered wilh an emphasis which will admit of no misconstruction and from which there is no appeal. It proves that Ohio is IhoreiiL'hlv and irrevoea- bly Whig in her politics, and places her, side by side, wan massacnuscii ami Vermont, in the wing phalanx. She now ranks third only, in point of nonula- lion, in the Confederacy, ami ia st-cond to none of her sisters, in all the elements of greatness and wealth. The next census will, no doubt, show her standing next to New York in population, and no long Uiue will elnpso before she will successfully dispute with that Biaie ner claim to the title ol Kmpire. It is this which gives tn Ohio, as the only gn at State which is reliahlu Whig, a commaudinir influence in the party to which she has again declared allegiance. She forms a fit creature around which her sister States miy gather, in their efforts in behalf of sound policy and correct principles. She ia Ihe leader of the Whig host. Her sun bore the Whig standard in triumph to Ihe Nationnl eapito) in IH40. Will it not he her son who shall lead the Whig army to triumph in IMH? We trust, we know, that the voice of Ohio will not le unheeded by the Whigs of the Union ; but that, taking new heart fnuu her firmness, they will maintain their organixation, kicp up their exertions, and. un daunted by defeat, unshaken by factions, they will second her exertions in behalf of the Whig cause. tieorgia, deluded into error, has returned to her an cient faith.

And this is probably very true. tli tain it is, our envoy did find a Frenchman among tho Dominicans, a Monsieur Villeneuve, I think, doing his possible in the name of the French Government to nrganixc and discipline them for the contest against the Ifaytiens. It is well known that in colonial diplomacy and wars the French are of no account at nil ; so that whatever may be the wishes and intentions of our Government in res-wet to this island, there is not the least cause of jealousy on its part as to the efforts of France or its agents in this struggle. Well, when Mr. IIooa left St. Domingo in July, , the Dominican army was nicely organized, composed it 1 have correctly retained the insinuation, received long time ngo") of thirteen thousand men, having several French officers and soiuo beautiful pieces of old Spanish artillery, with tho great additional advan tage ot neing accompanied along the coast by three or four small armed vessels, American built. As we expected, a battle was fought in September, in which the Dominicans were victorious. This affair lias undoubtedly been very much exaggerated. The llaytiens were taken by surprise were not aware of the good lighting condition, the huropcau advisers. ana ine neio-piecei ot their adversaries were a little cut up, and took to their heels, like sensible men, and as our own men very frequently did in the beginning of the Revolutionary wnr. t was consequently a very unimportant skirmish. The llaytiens i 111 mediately be gan cunrenirniing ineir lorces, having nought one or two small vessels to coto with tho Dominion navy, nnd it is not unlikely that ere this the tide of war has turned in their favor The issue of the struggle is hirdly doubtful. If the while Dominicans cxjiect to subdue the whole negro population of this delightful island and reduce it to a stnte ot servitude, or to any degree of civil and political inferiority, they must be iniKi-rniuy oisappoinu-u. I hey are toil a handtui compared to the blacks of the old French division, who 11 muttered in r-linearly 7' H 1,000 souls. The attempt is much more hardy and hopeless than that in which legions of French soldiers and some great French gen erals perished 111 the beginning of the century. I am an enemy to all abolitionism out of slave coun tries, because I think slavehuldhig communities ought to bo left to apply their own remedies to their own grievances, unless indeed they ask for sympathy and assistance from beyond their own limits ; and because, also, 1 mink, that, as it generally exists in tlie United Slates, the relation of master and si ive is not unjust, unnatural, or improper, because of the vast disparity in the moral nature and the intellectual endowments of the two races. But I cannot too earnestly express my disapproval of the part this Uarernmrnt appairs to hare taken in the, attempt to undermine and orcrthrow the negro and mulatto Uarernmrnt of the llaiitien 7fe- pul'lie. The subject certainly deserves the severest scrutiny at the hands uf Congress. God preserve us as a na tion irom the abominable wickedness ot political propagandist n ! American Orators. The Public Speeches of a nation's chief legislators are among the most luminous landmarks of its policy, the most lucid developments of the character and go niusot its institutions, and the noblest exhibitions 01 intellect. The speeches of many of our greatest orators have not been preserved, and like those of De-mades, the Athenian who was deemed by some of the ablest of his contemporaries superior to Demos-Utenes, they are forgotten. Of Uie orations of Otis, which were described as " flames of fire," we have but a few meagre reports. We are persuaded of the eloquence of Hksry only by the history of its effects. The passionate apjieals of the elder Aiams, which " moved his hearers from their seats," are not in print. But for tradition it would tie unknown that Rot-lkduk was one of the greatest of orators. There ia in existence scarcely a vestige of Uie resistless declamation and argument of Pinxskv. Some of the speeches of Fisiikr Amks have come down to us with their passages of chaste and striking beauty, and they constitute nearly all the recorded eloquence of the time in which he was an actor. Of Hip great orators of a Inter day of WrnsTKR, Clav, Calhoun, and others we have the means of forming a more accurate judgment. Their works belong to our standard Literature. They are thoroughly imbued with the national spirit. They glow with tho feelings of the people. They could have been produced only in America. Danii.l Werbtkr has written his name in our history. He has graven it indelibly on Uie rocks of our hills. He has associated it in some way with all that is grand and peculiar about us. Whatever may be tho (-fleets of time upon his reputation as a politician, unless the world return to barbarism, it cannot destroy his fame as an author. If I were to compare him to any foreigner, it would be Bchke. But he is a far greater man than the Irish colossus. His genius is more universal. Ho is more chaste. His style and argument are more compact. His learning is more various and profound. The literature of the langunge has no more splendid rhetoric or faultless logic. Born almost contemporaneously with tho nation, he has grown with its growth, strengthened with its strength, and become an impersonation of its character such nn impersonation as we proudly point to when we remember that we are Americans. The distinguished characteristic of the speeches of UKHr clay is an eminent practicalness. 1 hey are not imaginative, nor poetical, nor iiiipassionated. They lack the solidity, compactness, and inherent force of w ebstkr, and tho philosophic generalization ol Calhoun; Wrioiit is more plausibh-and ingenius. Pkks. ton is more graceful and fervid, and Choatf. more brilliant and classically ornate. Yet there is an unaffected earnestness of conviction, a profound heartiness of purpose, a frank and perfect ingeniousuess, a manly good sense exhibited in the works of this great statesman, which commend them to the reader's un. derstanding and approval. Although the manner of the orator adds force and significance to the matter, so that his speeches should be heard to be truly estimat. ed, they are found to bear a value in the closet not pos. scsscd by the productions of many who have enjoyed the highest eminence in the Senate, the forum, and tho world of letters. Mr. Calhouk is another author of Uie very highest rank, and his works, though in many respect very dillerent irom those ot the great orators 1 have men. tinned, are scarcely less peculiar and national. It hns been too much the habit to consider him as a politician. Mis claims as a literary man have been almost over looked. No ono has more skill as a dialectician. His sententious and close diction, his remarkable power of nniiiysis, ins inipiiciiy aim a'guuy 111s aocuines, ana all tint elements of the power with which they are maintained will secure for his preductiona a perma nent place in the world's consideration. My limits will not permit me to attempt particular analysis of their characteristics; but in concluding this part of my subject, I mny jioint to John Reiser Adams as altogether one ot the most remarkable men of this century, in whose voliiinnious and various works there is not only marked nationality, but a wis dom which astonishes by its universality and profound ness; to Epwahii Evkrktt as an orator of the most comprehensive learning, elegant taste, and noble spir it; to rlurus Choati:, as the hnest ot senatorial rhetoricians; to the brilliant Prrstos, and many others, whose speeches, like those to which I have heretofore directed attention, when their histories as partisans are forgotten, will be regarded as portions of the classical literature of the United States fit to lie ranked among the finest works of mankind, produced in the most highly cultivated nations of ancient or modern times.

The Hon, Lemuel Sawyer, who was a member nf Congress in IHVJ, furnishes Uie following interesting reminiscence tn a letter to the editor of Uie New York Courier and Enquirer: 1 wen remember the occasion of Mid. Hamilton's presentation of tho flag of Uie Macedonian. 1 was present, though unintentionally, at the grand naval ball given, about Uie 14th of December, leH by tho citizens of Washington to Cant. Hlewart. in return for the one he had given to them a little previous, on board his ship. The ball was held al Tomlinson's Ho tel, on Capitol Hill, where 1 boarded ; and being some what indisposed, I had retired to tied iust as th hull opened. The music, and the regular vibration of the floor to the motion of the dance, kept me awake. I considered, as I was thus condemned to suffer the evil of the ball, I might as well compensate myself by its gratification. 1 found it well tilled wiUi the beauty and fashion of the place, and honored with the pres-sence of Mr. and Mrs. Madison, and the heads of the depnrtiss-nts, among whom was Paul Hamilton, the Secretary of the Navy, his lady and two handsome daughters. In Uie midst of our enjoyment, at about 11 0 clock, a messenger came to the door and commu nicated sorno news secretly to the managers. They were then observed to whisper something to Mr. Hamilton, who hnd a private conversation with tho President. Immediately it was buzzed about that a messenger had como and was waiting below, with the glad tidings of a signal victory of one of our ships over one of the British with equal force. In ft moment, and without the least noise or contusion, an arrangement waa made by the managers, to give full effect to U10 fortunate coincident. The Secretary's impatience to run down stairs and meet his son was restrained, and a delegation of three gentlemen was appointed to wait on Mid. Hamilton and invite him up, with the trophy of victory, of which he waa the hearer, the flag of tho mace aonian. An opening was left through the crowd of spectators, from the door to the back part of the room, necrciary Hamilton and his family were placed, at the bottom of the passage, and in front of the door, while the President and his lady, with tho members of the cabinet, were arranged on each side. A breathless sib-ncc prevailed. The ladies stood up nn the back seats, lie t ween Uie columns that supported tlie ceiling, me whole length ol the room, gazing with intense interest at tlie door. It may be mentioned, that Mid. Hamilton had been absent two years, and that he hsd escaped, by a miracle, from Uio conflagration of Uie ivicoinonu 1 nrain-, ine winter oeiore oy nreaaing through the sash of one of the upper windows, and leaping to the ground, a distance of near 'Mi feet. At length tho head ot the procession entered the room, consisting of Mid. Hamilton, supported on each side by a member of the committee, followed by a train of gentlemen, having the captnred flag. Young Hamilton, seeing his parents waiting for his approach with outstretched anus, with modest demeanor and accelerated steps, threw himself into the arms of his mother, who hid her face in his bosom, overcome by her feelings of silent joy ; from thence he tore himself to grasp hisfuther's hand in a long and cordial shake, and ended by receiving and returning the enraptured embraces of his sisters. As soon ai this highly dramatic scene wns over, one sudden burst of huzzas resounded through the room. The flag waa pnraded,and marched around the mom to Uie tune of Hail Columbia after which it was brought before Mrs. Madison and laid at her feet, but she did not tread on it as some of the opposition papers alleged. You may well suppose that this new and unexpected feature in thcooremony, gave an increased zust to the entertainment, and that it went off with charming and cnlmnccd gusto. Young Hamilton was a very handsome officer, and invested as he was with the virgin honors of this great naval victory, which dissovled the charm of British invincibility on the ocean, was Uie cynosure of all Uie fair eyes present ; but he bore his triumph and his honors meekly. He was promoted to a Lieutenancy, and in lhat capacity was cut in two hy a chain shot in the action of the r resident with the r.ndymion, or rather ft llrttisli squadron, off the coast of Rhode Island, a few months after, while he was bravely discharging his duty under Uie gallant Decatur.

Half Dav, ihe Pottawatamie orator, expressed to the President the gratification which they all felt on seeing and shaking hands with their Great Father. The President replied that he was pleased to see them ; that some of them were old men and had come a long distauce to attend to what Uiey considered matters of importance; and Uiat they should be patiently heard, and full justice done to them. The Government, he said, desired to preserve relations of friendship and peace with all the Indian tribes ; he trusted Uiat before they left Uie city all their business would he satisfactorily arranged, and that the hatchet between the red and the white man might long remain buried. Half Day rejoined that they had great respect for the Government of Ihe United Stales ; that they had sold to tho Government all their country upon Uie great lakes; that Uey had never refused their Great Father when he asked them for land ; Uiat their reply waa like that of good children, always "yea;" that they could nnt help looking back to the fine country which they had parted with, were they had left Uie bones of Uieir grandfathers; Uint the country is no longer theirs, hut they love It still, and When they think of it their hearts are sad. They had now, he said a country which they were told was to be their home as long as the sun shines and water flows ; where Uiey were to grow up like the grass or the prairies, it waa a good country, he said, and they liked it. They had always lived up to their promises with the Uovern-mcnt. But they had been askrd to go southwest of the Missouri, and are in trouble, for they know not what to do. Eleven winters ago they were told, ha said, Uiat if they had but one wigwam on their present lands, they should see there all that had been prom ised them; out they! had come all the way to Wash ington to inquire of Uieir Great Father concerning it ; thai there was a cloud before their eyes, which Uiey hoped he would take away. You are from Uie West. said he to the President, and know what your red children want; we look to you for justice. 1 he rrestdeut replied that the Oovemment would art in good faith towards them ; that the bargains with them hsd been voluntarily made on their part, and should be scrupulously fulfilled by the uovcrnment and that the Secretary of War would see that Uiey were heard and treated properly. The President further said that he would aee them and shake hands with thetn again when they got their business adulated.
